Whoever desires to shoot a buffalo
on the soil of America must do it very
soon. It is said, ly good autlioril y,
that then- an; now left on tlic Contin
ent but two large herds. Of course
there are a rood many featuring
groups yet to lie found; but the red
men are r;:jiidly procuring the let
ven)i'us. and t!;e number of English
men and Americans who glory in the
hunt is increasing with every year,
and at the rate at which the lords of
the prairi -s have been slaughtered for
home timu past, there will scarcely be
a buffalo in th country live years
henee.
State legislatures may do what they
plcascju trying to protect this noble
game from de-t ruction, but it will be
all in vain. The laws are not enforced,
und cannot be enforced without the
presence of an army larger than that
leipliled to Kii p the ladlioe ill Mlhjee
tion, a 1 1 in y one a! all conversant
w itli the country it seems ei rlaiu that
tin; pour buffalo "must go.'
The pnr-nit of this noble game is
most inspiring sport, and a chapter if
the actual i xpi riomi s f a hunting
party i'.jr a mouth wotld prove
very attractive n aiing. II would
lie sometimes terribly thrilling,
and at others indescribably laughable,
for both tragedy and comedy have
their place in this wild life. Suppose I
give a (single instance of e.vh .
A few years ago a gentleman from
one of the Eastern states spent sonic
weeks in the buffalo country, and dur
ing his stay had the following very re
markable experience. Ho had been
out one day for several hours without
finding game, and, as the weather was
excessively hot, had stopped to rest be
neath a large cotton-wood tnv, which
6tood on a gently sloping hill about
half-way up its side Me laid his nib
on the gr-iss beside him, and ha 1 near
ly fallen asleep, when he was roused
by a sound as if an rmy wire march
ing past.
Accustomed to life fin tie- prairie;,
ho instantly guessed what it meant,
and springing to his feet and glancing
in the direction whence the sound
eame, lie saw a herd of a thousand
buffaloes pouring over tie- hill at a
terrilie pace, and coining ilireitly to
ward him.
(Ji.ick as th'iught he saw what he
must do, and in less time than it takes
to tell i., be had hidden himself away
behind the t:iink of t o tree under
whi-'e botivjhs he. had been reclining.
ile knew the herd must divide in
passing tl e tree, and at the speed they
they w.ie yoini; it seemed probable
that the m t s would rush pa.it with
out " rfi.vi g h ai.
On ami; the great herd with thuu-d'.i'i-t
tread, and, dividing right and
tfit v,Tpt pa-it the tree on either side
s i closely that he could have touched
them with his hand, lie supposed they
were simply running to rid themsehes
of llies, as they lrcpiently do on a hot
day; but as the last of the herd went
by, he iaw a strange spectacle.
Oncol' the cow buffaloes was carry
ing upot- her shoulders, and staggering
under tie- weight of. an enormous
panther. The moiistir's claw were
Bunk in thy animal's shoulders and
bat :. while his terrible teeth were in
It-r throat K idently she had been
running thus for some time, for she
BhowJ signs of weariness, and at
every leap she uttered a low moan.
It wa: a strange sight to our hunter,
though the scene itself is doubt l-ss re
peated every day.
It is no unusual thing for panthers
to conceal themselves near u watering
place, and spring upon their victims
unawares. Tiny usually select the
cows, know'-ig them to Ik- less capable
of long endurance; and after riding
them, aa iu this case, till, faint with
lotn of Mood, they fall upon the prairie,
the panthers take their meals at leisure.
What seems singular is that, if the
n.ouster is seen by the buffaloes, they
will lace iiiiii auddrive him away; but
if he once sets his teeth upon the
throat of one of the number, the whole
herd are seized with a panic and begin
to run for life, leaving their unfortun
ate companion to her fate.
This was the ease with tho hrd now
going past; they were fleeing for their
lives from their dreaded enemy.
Our friend was so much surprfsed,
the herd, had gone several rods before
he thought of shooting at one of them;
but suddenly coming to himself, and
touched with a feeling of jiity for the
poor beast lagging behind with the
panther at her throat, he rained his
ride and sent a hall after her torment
or. It struck the panther, iullieting a
severe wound.
With a yell of pain he sprang from
the buffalo's ba: k, and; with tremen
dous bounds started toward the tree
where the hunter stood. Obviously he
was now going for the hunter.
Tho man had only a single-barreled
rille, and so, springing behind the tree,
he drew his long hunting-knife and
nerved himself fur a terribln conliict.
To his surprise, the wounded animal
did not attack him, but sprang up
into tho tree with all possible speed.
The foliage was dense and heavy,
and in a moment tho great beast was
out of sight. lie supposed, however,
that this was only done by the panther
to obtain a foothold for springing upon
its enemy, its usual custom. For a
moment or two he stood grasping his
Knife, looking upward and dreading
the attack.
Ihil to his amazement the creature
did not hpring, and ns it still k-pt t p
a:s angry, gri.aning sninnl, he con
cluded that it must be badly wounded,
and that, perhaps, ere it fully recov
ered for the attack, he might reload his
rill.-.
So, thru-ding his knife into the bark
of the tree, that it might be ready for
instant u--c, and keeping careful vvat h
I' r 11. i n,i .. ii.L-iils of his dreaded foe,
he managed ijiiiclly to reload his rille.
Then cpin;? softly around the
rut (nil wood. he peeied carefully thlMll :ll
the b r::: !.-s 1:11 h.' saw the panther
ci oJicln d . : a lar-je limb, about thirty
I'"-!'! from I'i" ground.
Tl. e be:: i did not see him, and i!s
: idu win u-ivv fairly exposed. Every
thing depended Upon this shot, fur if
he missed, or only siigM !y wound d
the treat ure, it might cost him his
life. Willi a steady lu rve, and a silent
prayer to Him who holds both life and
death in his hands, he raised his rille
and pulled tho trigger. As the sharp
crack of the rille rang nut, it was
drowned by a piercing scream from
the panther, who sprang wildly into
the air, shot through the hi art, and
fell dead n-t ten feet frou where the
hunter was standing.
Looking over the whole matter, he
concluded ti.at the panther had ii'-t
seen him at all, but that when struck
by the lird ball, he supposed he was in
some way hurt by the buffalo, and that
be ran to the tnc as the best place to
cM i'pe from the rest of the herd.
Wh' Hier the injure 1 buffalo recov
ered from her wounds, ho had no
means of knowing, for ho did not
follow up the trail.
1'iiit now for an incident of the
laughable sort.
A couple of gentlemen, II and
M weld into the legion of the
l'.ad Lands of Montana, for the double
purpose of hunting and taking photo
'graphie views of the scenery. Like
all persons who visit the Far West,
they were ambitious to shoot a buffalo.
It was not long before an opportunity
was afforded t heiu to show their skill.
One day tiny noticed several dark
objects en the prairie two miles dis
tant, and b. th' aid of their glasses,
they made out that a small group of
buffaloes were Iving there in the sand.
Hiding to a lit 1 1 grove about half a
mile distant from the game, they dis
mounted and crept through the sage
brush, till they came to a little
eminence which overlooked the buffa
loes, now only one hundred and fifty
yards awa.
lb-re they carefully singled out a
couple which were now standing, and
actually tumbled them over 11)1011 the
prairie, where they lay kicking and
bellowing at a fearful rate. The rest
if tho herd scampered away a few
rods, but, attracted by the cries and
antics of their wounded companions,
they soon stopped and stood stupidly
looking at them.
One old bull, more daring than the
rest, began walking around the fallen
ones to see what the troublo was. He
at length eame between tho wounded
unimals and the hunters, and stood
still for a few minutes, with head
erect and every muscle ready for action
a noble picture. 11 was so tempt
ing that II raised his rille and fired
at him. He vv as badly w ounded, but
did not fall, and as tho rest of the herd
took the alarm and scampered away.
be tried to follow them; but his wound
so troubled him that before he disa
peared from sight in a small ravine, he
bad failed into a walk.
They then went back to tho grove
and brought up the horses, intending
to follow up and secure the wounded
bull.
Just then an idea a brilliant idea
entered M 's head. Why not follow
on till within a fair distance of tho
animal, and then set the camera and
photograph him? The photograph of
a hull buffalo, taken while tho animal
actually stood holding his pursuers at
bay, oh! that would be immense.
Ko while M took his rille, II .
took the "machine," and they followed
on after his majesty. They soon found
him lying down, but he rose at their
imnroach, and after looking about him
curiously for a while, slarttd for them
at a siu-eil which compelled their
retreat. When at a safe distanee.how
ever, M suggested to his com
panion: "Xow, IT , I'll go round by that
ledge and attract the old fellow 's atten
tion, and you plant vi-ur camera just
beside that ash-tree, and then we shall
get a magnificent view of him."
II assented, but with an inward
feeling that he would like to exchango
places with his companion.
Away went M , and shortly
afterward he appeared on the opposite
ledge. It took some time for II U
get his plates in readiness, and during
this time the bull again lay down, but
this time in tho sage-hriiih, so that
they could not exactly place him; but,
with tripod in hand, the photograph J
went carefully down the ravine.
Ii'-lore he was aware how near be
was getting to him, up sprang tho
wounded bull with a ma I roar and
with fury iu his eyes. For an instant
he glared at the in! ruder, and then,
with a tremendous bellow, ho started
for him.
The photograph man dropped his
machine and l! I. 'I l--i!l lir-t -di m !;

It was ludicrous beyond description.
M Stood en the oppo .ile ledge, and,
despite the imminent danger of his
friend, was nearly nu n nun d by laugh
ter. Hut he saw that something must
bo done, and when the mad buffalo
was not more than eight feet di-tant
from the Hying photographer, M
raised his rille and sent a ball through
the animal, which dropped dead in
his tracks.
They took out the creature's tonguo
as a trophy of victory, and alter pick
ing no the fragments of the camera,
with its supporting tripod, tiny sought
their horses, and journ-yed ,111 with
the settled determination not to
attempt to plmtograph another wounded
buffalo, unless it should be at long
range and from a safe hiding-place.
The Sling or the lice.
If we press the abdomen of tho lien
or waip, so as to came the sting to
proi rule, we should naturally think
that the sharp, dark-colored instrument
was the sting itself. This, however,
is not the ca-ie. The red sling is a
very slender instrument, nearly trans
parent, keenly pointed, and armed on
one edge with a row of barbs. So ex
actly does the sting resemble the many
barbed arrows of certain savage tribes
that, if the savages had possessed
microscopes, we should certainly have
thought that they borrowed the idea of
the barb from tie- insect. What we
see with the unaided eye is simply the
sheath of the sting. Many savages
poison their spears and arrows, and
here also they have been anticipated
by the insect, l!ut the sting is infinite
ly superior to the arrow poison. Xo
poison that has yet been made, not
even the terrible wourali, or curare, as
it is sometimes called, can retain its
strength after long exposure to tho
air. The upas poison of llorneo, for
example, loses its potency in two or
three hours. F.ut the venom of the
sting is never exposed to the air at all.
It is secreted by two long thread-like
glands, not nearly so thick as a human
hair, and is then received into a little
bag at tho base of the string. When
the insect uses its weapon it contracts
the abdomen, thereby forcing the sting
out and compressing the veiiom-ba.
Hy the foreo of the stroke which drives
the sting into the foe its base is pressed
against the venom-bag and a small
amount of poison driven into tho
wound. As a rule, if the bee or wasp
be allowed to remain quiet, it will with
draw its sting, but as the pain causes
a sudden jerk, tho barbed weapon can
not be withdrawn, and the whole ap
paratus of sting, jioison-hag and glands
is torn out of the insect, thereby caus
ing its death. Cooii HW

Dr. 2-We'.y If. ollk Monthly: While
many of the affections attributed to an
exposure, umpiestinnably are but an in
llunmation of the mucous surfaces
generally dependent on the state of the

sulting from a sudden cheeking of the
perspiration or an interference with
the steady and necessary discharge of
the waste matter of thesyslemthroiih
the millions of pores of the skin. It is
reasonable to infer tliat most of these
are preceded by a depressed state of the
body, either resulting from an exposure
to too great heat always weakening
fir to sudden transitions from heat to
cold, or vice versa. If, for example,
one is long cxpoM-d to a heated room
tho temperature much higher than

Asbestos,
Some very fine specimens of asbestos,
says the Virginia i Nev. ) lutlTprLio,
arc being found in tlm Pushup Creek
country. Contrary to the popular no
tion, this mineral is generally found in
volcanic regions. The liber of the
specimens shown is from four to six
inches in length, and is soft and silky.
A strand of it can be lied into a knot,
same as llax liber. It is found in what,
from the description of it, appears to
be serpentine rock, and not very far
from the crater of an extinct volcano.
In the rough, the mineral looks like so
many roots of the beech tree, but on
being beaten with a m illet or hammer,
the whole becomes a mass of white
liber, with a sort of satin luster. It is
said that great planks or slabs of the
raw material may be procured. The
ordinary asbestos is used in the manu
facture of a sort of pla-ler for coating
steam drums and for lire-proof paint;
but this, it seems, might be spun and
woven into a I'uv-proof cloth that
would be useful for seine purposes. It
nie,dil be made into drop curtains for
theaters, and for partitions in places
where it is iieees.-ary to guard against
the spread of lire that is, could be
utilized in making curtains to drop
across halls and passages iu large build
ings in case of lire. Tapestry or wall
paper made of this material would he
a great safeguard against lire.
i A Witch.
Witches are si ill common in the
west of England. A Flyuioulh w itch
lias lately eau-ed a good deal of dis
comfort to a seafaring young num. He
set sail with a smack-owner of llrix
ham, as a member of the crew, but his
health suffered in his maritime adven
ture, and a physician advised him tnat
he was in danger of losing his eye
sight. The ma-tcr of the smack bade
the young mariner consult a white
witch at Flv mouth, and the sullerer
took his advice. The white witch
boldly declared that not the invalid but
tho whole smack was under a spell,
and suffering from the wiles of sor
cerers. The master and the hid isitcd
the witih together, but the spell could
not be removed. The youth then went
into an infirmary, and recovered not
only his hearth, but wages front his
master. Hut the witch will continue
' to drive trade in Fl.viuouth.

Origin of blizzard.
In the Xortft Amiriran AVrV?' Mr,
Tucker looks up the origin of several
' Amerieanisiiis. among which is tln-vig-
I ., r.nis new coiner "blizanl." It is bard-
ly necessary to say that the word bliz-
yard, as now understood, is a terrilie
storm, with low barometer, light clouds
nr none at all, and the nil-full of parti-
cles of snow, is the form of dry, slmrp
crystals, which, driven before the wind,
bite and sting like lire. The term is
said to have made its first appearance
in piint al t the year lMin, in a news-
paper called the .Yi.Vn m Vhitlt'ntoi;
published at F.stherville, Minn. Its
dyiunlogy can only be guessed al, but
there has been no lack of guesses. The
English word "blister," the French
"bnuilard," the Ccrman "blitz, " tho
Spanish "lirisa," the surname "llliz
zard" ( said to be common around Hal
tiuioie), an unpronounceable Sioux
term, and the Scotch verb "blizzi n"
all these and other Words have been
suggested w ith various degrees of im
probability as the origin of the term.
Mr. Tucker's conjecture is that it is
simply an attempt, not wholly unsuc
cessful, to represent the whistling and
"driving" noise of a terrible storm.
